As I said, wave turbulence will continue erosion and break it down some, but it isn't close to restored. Look at the before and after pictures.

The ocean has further eroded the beach. It has washed against and undercut the big escarpment, causing it to fall and wash out. The result is the escarpment has moved further inland. Look at the picture. There is still a 6 or 7 foot differential. It is slightly less vertical, more sloughed, but it's there. And it's more inland, closer to the homes, than the original one.

Not to mention that the level part of the beach is now 6 or 7 feet below the elevation prior to the formation of the initial escarpment (essentially the whole beach has washed out). The result is the tide comes in further and erodes away the face of the dune even more, inching closer and closer to the homes. The article references that the beach is narrower now. This is because its elevation has dropped and the tide comes in further (the water line is more inland, even at low tide).

That beach is nothing like what it was a month ago. It's lower, narrower, and still has a "cliff".
